They likely got 0.5 to 1 inch but don't think they measured so it would have melted by the time they do.
So in reality 0.5 to 1 inch but they will not count it.

An inch definitely accumulated on grassy surfaces

Slept in and missed the first round. Ewall radar had all snow for NYC, but I'm guessing it was too warm at the surface for accumulations?

The precipitation started as light rain but went over to snow in Central Park with the temperature dropping to freezing. There very likely was an accumulation and that will be reported early this afternoon.

Nice that it filled in even earlier than this. Radar continues to blossom with echoes to our southwest. Turning out that there wasn't even much of a break between rounds. 

Steady snow back after a 1hr or so lull. No echoes on radar. Its obviously not picking up precipitation well. 1.5" today. 3.5" 2 day total and 14.5" ytd. Should be a fun afternoon evening

It's snowing lightly here, but you'd think it was much heavier based on the visibility.  Very cool vibe with the light snow and fog and everything plastered with snow. 

 

32.7⁰, Today's snowfall so far 1.1".

NWS forecast looks good, but there could be a little extra excitement this evening as the column cools a little more.

HRRR has around 3 inches for NYC later on.

Maybe like 4" for storm total considering they probably got at least some measurable snowfall this morning. South shore has yet to start though with the accumulation. Snow started back up here in north Queens but likely white rain for many. Will need at least moderate snowfall rates this evening when sun goes down to make up for that, especially close to the coast.

Yeah unless the coastal low really gets cranking and throws back some heavy bands after sunset, it just seems too warm in the boroughs for much meaningful accumulation. I don't even think it's snowed yet on the south shore. 

Approaching 2" here on the East end, moderate snow at the moment

100% wrong on the no snow on the SS. 
 

however I agree that for most of the island, minus the twin forks, it’s going to be mostly rain. Rates not enough to overcome the warm

Boroughs always bust low unless surface temps are clearly below 32 F everywhere. The snow cannot stick in the heat island easily at all

CPK was 32 during this morning's snow so unless they fail to measure correctly will have 0.5 to 1 inch already and only need another 1.0 to 1.5 to reach the 2 to 4 forecasted.

What is the timing of the second wave up in Bergen County?

You must be slightly more north than where I am. Its been snowing nonstop where I am in Bergen county. I would assume within the next hour radar fills in and youll see snow again

Thanks. We’ve got light flurries right now. Trying to figure out how bad it’ll be around 3-4 to see if I should change my plans that require me driving around then

Is the pecip going to back in or is the snow later coming from the south? 

NYC is on the northern edge of the coastal.  This means the heaviest of precipitation will remain offshore.  The precip shield is moving north/northeast and is somewhat irregular in pattern.  A wider swath will move into the area, generally from the south at around 2-3PM today.  Maybe if we all cross our fingers, we could end up getting another 3-5"???
